I rather enjoy the Randomized Music Memelike Content Generator. Once or twice a month is not, I believe, overly self-indulgent.
Also, it distracts me as I try to solve the problem of how to start Scene Three of Pandora.
1. Soul Coughing, "4 Out of 5" -- Irresistible Bliss

Silas Creek Parkway is my only view.

I could burst a million bubbles.

And if you had no money, I'd give you my last dime.
11. XTC, "This World Over" -- The Big Express
Will you smile like any father, with your children on a Sunday hike...when you get to a sea of rubble, and they ask, "What was London like?"

Every generation yields a newborn hope unjaded by the years.

Crawling in silence, a simple excuse.
14. Beth Orton, "Someone's Daughter" -- Trailer Park
Keep losing my mind looking for the peace that I'll never find.

Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona...and I'm quite sure I'm in the wrong song.

Because what you never had you never miss, I guess.
